Also known as NCS2
Summary
CTU2 (cytosolic thiouridylase subunit 2, HGNC:28005) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 16q24.3, encoding Cytoplasmic tRNA 2-thiolation protein 2 (Q2VPK5). Plays a central role in 2-thiolation of mcm(5)S(2)U at tRNA wobble positions of tRNA(Lys), tRNA(Glu) and tRNA(Gln). It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 77.8% of cell lines).
This gene encodes a protein which is involved in the post-transcriptional modification of transfer RNAs (tRNAs). The encoded protein plays a role in thiolation of uridine residue present at the wobble position in a subset of tRNAs, resulting in enhanced codon reading accuracy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

Cytoplasmic tRNA 2-thiolation protein 2 — Q2VPK5 (reviewed: Q2VPK5)

All UniProt accessions (5): Q2VPK5, H3BNM3, H3BNU5, H3BPG4, H3BSW6
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Plays a central role in 2-thiolation of mcm(5)S(2)U at tRNA wobble positions of tRNA(Lys), tRNA(Glu) and tRNA(Gln). May act by forming a heterodimer with CTU1/ATPBD3 that ligates sulfur from thiocarboxylated URM1 onto the uridine of tRNAs at wobble position.
Subunit / interactions. Component of a complex at least composed of URM1, CTU2/NCS2 and CTU1/ATPBD3.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm.
Disease relevance. Microcephaly, facial dysmorphism, renal agenesis, and ambiguous genitalia syndrome (MFRG) [MIM:618142] An autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by primary microcephaly, ambiguous male genitalia, dysmorphic facies, polydactyly, and unilateral renal agenesis. Variable brain, cardiac, and skeletal anomalies are present, including corpus callosum agenesis or dysgenesis, lissencephaly, atrial and ventricular septal defects, patent ductus arteriosus, hypoplastic right ventricle, and joint contractures. The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. A homozygous synonymous variant at codon 247 has been identified in 3 consanguineous families. This variant impairs normal splicing, causing a frameshift resulting in a premature termination codon.
Pathway. tRNA modification; 5-methoxycarbonylmethyl-2-thiouridine-tRNA biosynthesis.
Miscellaneous. Incomplete sequence.
Similarity. Belongs to the CTU2/NCS2 family.
